I Love It When Actors Come To

There Was A Big Drive When I Was At Art School To Make You Aware Of The Economy Of Meaning - After All, This Was Still During The Tail End Of Minimalism. Being Responsible For Everything You Put In Your Picture, And Being Able To Defend It. Keeping Everything Clear Around You So You Know What Is Operating. To Open The Wound And Keep It Clean.

I Fell In Love Again (laughs).

Actual Violence Has No Attraction For Me At All.

That's Just How I See Things On A Base Level: There's So Much Going On. Or At Least I Like To Have That Feeling. It's Part Of Being Interested In Notions Of Reality Apart From Storytelling. I Don't Know If It Has Something To Do With Having An Art School Education, Which Makes You Aware Of The Way Visuals Speak, Or Makes You Trust Them More.

With 'bright Star' And With 'the Piano,' Too, I Felt A Kind Of Sadness About It Being In Such A Different Era, Because Of My Lack Of Experience With The Era. And One Of The Ways I'd Get Over It Is To Remind Myself That Every Film, Even If It's Contemporary, Creates Its Own World.
